JOHN W. OADBY, OF TROY, NEW YORK.

METHOD OF ATTACHING BOSOMS TO SHIRTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,783, dated August 4, 1885.

Application filed August 8, 1883.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN W. CADBY, of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Applying Bosoms to Shirts, of which the following is a specification.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

Figures 1, 2. 30f the drawings are elevations showing the bosom and shirt together, the bosom alone, and the shirt-opening for the bosom. Fig. 4 is a cross-section on line a b of Fig. 1 before the felling is done; Fig. 5, the same View after the felling has been done by the feller attachment.

In the drawings, A represents the shirt; B,

the bosom; O, the collar-band; D, the runseams, and G the felled seams. B B are the extensions of two of the bosom-plies.

l first place the bosoms inner ply upon shirt A at the opening made for it, then stitch the two together by the run seams D D, then turn back the edges of the shirt-opening upon the extended bosom-plies B B, then fold the extensions B B until they meet the edges of the inner ply and the shirt, then through-stitch the folds to the shirt-body at the boundaryline of bosom by seams G G.

By this method I obtain finished edges on (No model.)

the inside and outside, like a bound bosom. The edges are of the same quality as and are integral with the bosom, being easilylaundered in a smooth condition, with the bosom below the level of seam, so as to make the seam. appear like a binding. I am also enabled, by the use of thesewing-machine feller attachment, to turn in the loose edges of the bosom and produce the row of stitching G.

What I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is

The method of securing a bosomto a shirt which consists in first placing the inner ply of bosom upon the shirt material at the bosomopening and stitching the two together; secondly, turning back the edges of the shirtopening upon the extended plies of the bosomedge; thirdly, folding in the said extended plies of the bosom-edge to abut against the sewed edges of. the inner ply and the shirt material, and, fourthly, stitching the said folded edge through the body of the shirt upon the boundary-line of the bosom, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of August, 1883.

JOHN W. CADBY.
